The main house opens with a welcoming hallway laid with solid wood flooring and brightened by ceiling spotlights, leading through to a generous open-plan living space. This impressive room is clearly defined into relaxing, dining and cooking zones, with a solid-fuel stove creating a cosy focal point in the lounge area. A large front window adds plenty of natural light, while the adjoining dining space enjoys direct access to the garden through glazed patio doors.
The kitchen has been designed with striking black worktops and matching upstands which contrast smartly with light coloured cupboards, while under-cabinet lighting adds a contemporary touch.

Whether hosting guests or for day-to-day family cooking, the kitchen delivers both flair and practicality.
A separate utility room sits just off the kitchen, offering additional cupboard space, worktops, laundry appliance fittings and a second sink, all set against clean white tiling.
Also on the ground floor is a generous family room, offering excellent versatility for everyday living. Glazed double doors open directly to the garden, while a wood-effect acoustic panelled feature wall adds warmth and texture. Soft grey carpet underfoot creates a cosy feel while built-in storage with wooden doors keeps things tidy and practical without sacrificing floor space.
The home also benefits from a double bedroom on the ground floor, currently styled in neutral tones with a bold pink feature wall bringing a splash of personality. There’s plenty of space for a double bed and additional furniture while a window with a radiator positioned below ensures year-round comfort.
Completing the ground level is a bright and stylish family bathroom. Large frosted windows allow in natural light while maintaining privacy. The room is fitted with a white bath and overhead shower, a modern square sink set atop a white vanity unit with contrasting black worktop and matching black floor tiles for a contemporary finish. A wall-mounted radiator ensures the space remains warm and inviting.
The first floor opens onto a large and versatile landing, currently used as a quiet reading or study nook. It’s a bright, open space that reflects the generous proportions found throughout the home and adds real flexibility to the upstairs layout.
The master bedroom is an impressive retreat, with soft carpeting and crisp white walls offset by a delicate floral feature wall along the sloped ceiling. There’s plenty of space here for a large bed and additional furniture. This bedroom also enjoys the added luxury of a private en suite shower room, fitted with a glass-enclosed cubicle, floating vanity unit with sink set on top and a tall modern chrome towel rail.
Two further double bedrooms can also be found on this floor, each offering a calm and welcoming atmosphere. Both rooms benefit from a combination of standard and Velux windows, allowing plenty of natural light. Each features soft carpets underfoot, built-in wardrobes and generous floor space with room for desks, seating or extra storage if needed.
Serving this floor is also a modern family shower room, styled in fresh neutral tones with a large enclosure, smart white vanity unit, toilet and chrome towel radiator – everything you need for a practical, stylish daily routine.
Another standout feature of this property is the fully self-contained ground-floor annexe which is ideal for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or generating rental income. With its own private entrance, the annexe opens into a bright and spacious open-plan kitchen and living area. The lounge section is carpeted and neutrally decorated, while the kitchen is fitted with blue cabinets, light worktops, a breakfast bar, freestanding cooker and stainless steel sink.

The double bedroom is generous in size, featuring a grey carpet, mirrored sliding wardrobes and glazed French doors flanked by windows that open directly to the garden. Completing the annexe is a well-presented shower room with a corner enclosure, toilet and a sink with storage beneath.
The gardens surrounding the property offer a wealth of outdoor potential. At the rear, a raised decking area provides the ideal spot for al fresco dining. Wide lawns, mature planting and multiple seating zones complete this generous, inviting outdoor space. There’s also a greenhouse, three timber sheds, a timber-built workshop and two summerhouses – one currently housing a hot tub. An attached garage adds even more space, with an upper level offering storage or scope for future conversion.
In addition, a separate parcel of land lies across the road from the main home, adding flexibility for gardening, extra parking, or maybe even further development potential (subject to local planning permission and consents).
